I am having Firefox 3.6 and it keeps freezing and becoming non responsive.
I have been forced to go back to IE7 with no problems. I would rather use
Firefox. Why is Firefox freezing and becoming non responsive ?

I have scanned my computer for all bugs and my computer is clean.I have even tried by disabling my add-ons for Firefox,upgrading to Firefox 3.6 Beta (revision 5) [3.6b5] downgrading to Firefox 3.5 and tried deleting my cookies and internet temp files and I have the same problem.

One thing you might also try is to empty all the temp files from FireFox in your computer. If you use Disk Clean-Up it should do the job.

Start Button> My Computer> Right click on your Hard Drive the one you want will be labeled (C)> Click Disk Clean Up in that Window.

It is also a good idea to defrag your Hard Drive often mostly after using the internet a lot Or after you install something or uninstall a program.
Though disk clean up should get the job done. Though you can find disk defrag in the same window under the Tools Tab.
